Oh my! Very pretty! Do I have those fabrics too?

Nope, those were some of the fq's I could add

A couple more neat peeks. The final quilts are going to be a sight to behold.

Hope to find time this weekend to work on mine. The time is just going so fast!

That last peek is gorgeous! Lori, you had those fq's, LOL? They are beautiful, but then I like your fabric choices. I do recognize the b/w and w/b in that picture.

well, I'd like to have those in my stash

Had mine out for the first time in several weeks. I am further along than I remembered being! Thats refreshing!
Been too much going on around here this summer to work on it much.
Thank you for the peeks!

ooh, great peeks! So interesting to see what everyone does with the fabbies!

So... I picked up my sewing maching from the shop, unpacked by pieces (as well as the rest of my sewing room), plugged in the machine and SEWED! Now that I'm approaching the end of the boxes and the morning sickness is getting a little better, maybe I'll actually get this done!

I did more cutting and sewing and cutting, now watching tv and cutting apart strip sets. Is that a good clue? If I sew tomorrow, I may have rows completed.

I worked all day yesterday and made lots of progress. My top is 99.9% done. Then to assemble and quilt.

Still cutting!

Jean, the last peek looks like something you would do! Love all the peeks!

Top done!

I finished the top today!!!

YEAH!!

Making progress-might be done soon.

Mine is in the same quilted state as 3 weeks ago... when I actually aren't working 60 hours plus planning a week, I will have time to sew!

• • • These next two months are going to be a bear for me, with trying to get this quilt done, plus my FQ challenge and preparing for the retreat.

I'll need your help cheering everyone on. And, I'll try to post the peeks a little more often as more are coming in.

Hey, Jean! I'm in the same boat as you — COF challenge, retreat prep, S2T quilt, and getting ready for school to start. Oh yeah, and there's that little matter of some rinky-dink D*** Jane top to quilt.

My top, awaiting basting, is not inspiring me with a quilting plan. What to do, what to do, what to do?

Jean, DO NOT READ THIS!

ktz, why don't you show us a picture of it and we could all help you figure out a plan? LOL.

Ha! I only wish!

Half of my blocks are finished and a few more in progress. I am going to make it!!!

• • • Why are my ears ringing?

Ktz, you could send me a photo. I might have an idea or two.

I have received a bunch of peeks this week. Need to sort and size them. Will post soon.

You all are clever! Make me laugh!

Rondi

Jean, maybe I need those peeks you mentioned for inspiration!

• • • Okay, but I don't have much in the way of quilted peeks.

Hmmmm....dots-a dead giveaway, huh?

Another new peek.

I like the woven black/yellow heart. The intersecting pieces have the black background with yellow/orange dots. Very clever! Can't wait to see the rest.

Lots of WOW's in the 2nd peek of the day. I like the crisp whites with brights and spring colors.

Interesting how everyone interprets the fabric to use.

You know, when I was not a participant in this challenge I would look at the finished quilts with awe and wonder at how fun and interesting they were. Now that I am a participant I have a much greater appreciation for all of the GREAT blocks, applique and quilts that are accomplished with the basic same starting fabbies. I look at the peeks with much more interest since I have used the fabbies in my quilt also. Fun. Thanks, Jean, for a great challenge!

...oh...and YEA! I'm quilting!!

• • • How about another peek before I go to work?

Hey Jean - since I'm taking your FM class and my S2T needs quilted, couldn't I just bring it and quilt it in Branson??? Puh-leeeezzzeeee?

Ha I thought that heart was a house block. Now I see the heart. I can't wait to see the finished projects. I'm so excited I'm busting.

• • • Oh sure, and I suppose you want ME to quilt it for you too.

I would like to see it in person, though.

Oh, yes Please!

Ha! Good try gonesewin!

Lot's of progress this week. Plan on having the top done today!!! YAHOO!!

• • • Sorry, No Can Do, I'm already booked for the retreat.


Look what I found...

Very colorful.

Guess what I did today?

I pulled out my squares and instructions and inspiration books...time to get going on my ideas, let alone my quilt

This working 2 jobs and juggling 2 kids thing is gettin' old.

Lisa

You can do it, Lisa!

Go for it Lisa.

Do you hear the bells ringing?? I got my top done today!!! Whew, what a weight off my shoulders. Now to figure out how to finish it.

Way to go, Elaine!

You can do it, Lisa! I'm waiting on some quilting elves to come and help me. Maybe I should leave everything out at night and see if they come and work on it for me .

Wow, Elaine, great job. I know that there are some finished already, that's great!

School starts next Monday, so I'm going to be stitching like a crazy woman.

Yay, Elaine!

Lisa, when those elves are done at your house, just send them southeast a few miles, and they'll find more to do here.

• • • Aaaaaaccccccccckkkkk! I just found four squares I haven't used yet and my top is almost done.


I need a peek for inspiration now.

Jean, where were those devious squares hidden?

...quite a bit of ripping out has gone into my piece to get it to the point it finally is getting to!
